Let your mind float away on a wave of imagination – can you dream of a better life for women? Something different to our worlds?
What if this world was not really round Would man be jumping into nothing beyond.. What if men gave birth, would women get new lives? Would men for a change, wait home for their wives?
What if you knew you had just one day to live Would you kill someone or seize the day and forgive What if you could be any age for a week Would you be five or sixty three
Chose to live carefree ….. Or be dead as dead can be What if you had a chance to ‘do over’ in life Would you choose this same life of strife Or would you wish for something more Maybe forever youth… money for sure!
And if you could travel to the moon Knowing that earth would perish soon Who would you take with you If you had to choose a handful few
What if you could keep just two things with you How difficult would that be to see through Possessions, health, family or friends I guess it will just depend..
If you could witness something from the past Would you change it to make it last…. Listen to your brain or listen to your heart Would you even know where to start
What if an alien ship took you away Into the skies, dark galaxy to stay Beyond sparkling moonbeams and stardust Would you ever return to polluted earths crust
What if you were as bored as me today Writing a poem to keep boredom away Or perhaps, listening to me droning in your ears Oh please , just tune off.. I might talk for years!

If her home and family seem to be impacted by her career then we expect her to prioritize her ‘responsibilities at home as a woman’ and leave her job.
The entrenched patriarchal norms have always perpetuated certain roles and responsibilities as falling specifically in the domain of either men or women. Traditionally, women have been associated with the domestic sphere while men have been considered the bread winner of the household. This division of roles has become so ingrained in our lives that we seldom come to question it. However, while not being questioned does give the system a certain level of legitimacy, it in no way proves its veracity.
This systematic division has resulted in a widely accepted notion whereby the public sphere is demarcated as a men’s zone and the private sphere as belonging to women. Consequently, women are expected to stay at home and manage the household chores while men are supposed to go out and make a living with no interest whatsoever in the running of the household.
This divide is said to be grounded in the intrinsic nature of men and women. Women are believed to be compassionate, affectionate and loving and these supposedly ‘feminine’ qualities make them the right fit for caring roles. Men, on the other hand are allegedly more sturdy, strong and bold and hence, the ones to deal with the ordeals of the outside world.
Investing in women means many things beyond the obvious meaning of this IWD2024 theme, as the many orgs doing stellar work can show us.
What does it mean to invest in women?
Telling the women in our lives how great we think they are? That we value the sacrifices they have made? (Usually though not necessarily only – a sacrifice of their aspirations, careers and earning potential in order to focus on family).
No, thank you. Just talk is no longer going to cut it. Roses and compliments are great, but it’s time people, leaders, organizations put their money, capital, resources on track instead.
